Genesis 29:15-20

15Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my 1relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall 2your wages be?” 16Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17And Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was 3beautiful of form and 4face. 18Now Jacob 5loved Rachel, so he said, “6I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” 19Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me.” 20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days 7because of his love for her.
